Stu got you much of the info, but BMW now offers a 6er repair manual on CD, in addition to the great Bentley. I have the manuals for my E28 and E30 cars. The E28 Bentley will serve you well - same engine and much of the chassis info. Check on eBay, or $48 at www.bavauto.com John in VA -- to be removed from bmw, see /bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe bmw" to majordomo@domain.elided
